Testimonials

We enjoyed working with Shade Factor to develop a custom design solution which contributed significantly to the architectural outcome.

Mitsuori Architects

Shade Factor were able to provide a sun protection system that complimented the design strategy of creating a church that is welcoming and open to the community. The metallic finished external venetian louvres fit neatly within painted plate steel shrouds, visually balanced against the craggy texture of the split face concrete block facade, and provide sun protection to the large north facing windows while facilitating their intended transparency.

Atelier Wagner

The Terrace House project had ambitious sustainability goals and restrictive compliance requirements, Shade Factor were able to provide products and services to satisfy both.

Austin Maynard Architects

Shade Factor’s operable external blinds have been great at enabling us to design to bring the warming winter sun into our buildings when we want it, and to block out unwanted hot summer sun. Their diverse range of products have helped us deal with many challenging situations. Their service and team have always been very knowledgeable and helpful.

Ben Callery Architects

Pleasure collaborating with you @shadefactor Thrilled with the outcome of this shade system. Works brilliantly, looks incredible. Huge congrats!

Alison Dodds Architect

I just wanted to let you know that we love the Warema blinds. They do exactly the job we wanted.

We moved into the house just before Christmas and we use the main blind (the double) every day it is sunny during the summer.

P Meyer, NSW

It is always a pleasure to be in the presence of high professionalism and this has been our experience with you and your colleagues.

L Davis, Portsea

Thanks for the awning we love it. It helps to create an extra living space.

E King, VIC

Your team just installed our rear blind and it looks fantastic!

H Crothers, VIC

Thanks for the installation of our awning and blinds. You and your staff were great, and a job well done. Many thank to the boys, courteous, professional and obliging. A credit to your organisation. 

George, VIC

I just wanted to belatedly thank you very much for replacing the two blinds for us here. We really appreciate your excellent service - I recommend you to everyone! Will have a few more blinds to do eventually - will be in touch then.

Renee, NSW

We are really happy with the new blinds. The product is really good and the service was excellent.

We have just had the biggest storm in the 32 years we have been here and the blinds were not bothered at all by the very strong winds.

B James, WA

Very satisfied, guys turned up on time, polite and explained what they were doing. Work completed promptly and cleaned up at the end. All good.

G Travers, VIC

I have installed a total of 14 Shadefactor blinds around 3 sides of the house on 2 levels. It's been a significant investment but one which is repaid by the results. The blinds greatly enhance the aesthetics of the house as well as providing excellent control of light, heat and privacy throughout the year. The service and installation has always been highly professional and since the start the blinds have operated flawlessly. Thanks so much.

A McLeay, VIC

We are thrilled with our external blinds and could not be happier with Shade Factor - from the initial consultation, advice and quotation, to the installation and end product, every aspect has been professional and completed to a very high standard.

I wish we had done this years ago!

C Stephens, NSW

I found the Shade Factor team, Graeme & Daniel & their installation technician Ben, at the Brookvale Office to be highly professional, courteous and very knowledgeable.

We had external venetians installed and they were of the highest quality. The blinds look amazing. 

I am a construction engineer and it was a pleasure to see good tradesmen in action. I will definitely use them again if I have a need in the future and will have no hesitation to recommend them

L Deguara, NSW

Ben and Gus were a great team and really took care of our roof and all the new fixtures around where they were working to ensure no damage occurred during the install.

We are very happy with the quality, look and feel of the product and the guys were very professional and competent so thankyou.

C Johnson, NSW

I was very impressed by your staff who affixed my awning on Friday, lovely chaps and a very professional job as well.

It has been a pleasure to deal with all your staff during the entire process from measuring and quote to installation - thank you for your professionalism!

J Letten, VIC

We highly recommend Shade Factor. They have inhouse skills including engineering, manufacturing and architectural awareness. 

This allowed them to transform our house in a way befitting an iconic home in an amazing coastal location.
